Tanisha Smith had 16 points and Damitria Buchanan added 14 for
the Aggies (20-7, 8-6), who are battling Baylor and Oklahoma
State for fifth place in the Big 12 Conference. Texas A&M moved
a half game ahead of the Bears and Cowboys, who play Sunday.

Elonu's previous career high was 17 against Stephen F. Austin on
Dec. 2, 2008. She passed that with a 15-foot jumper that gave
the Aggies a 74-47 lead with 8:53 left in the game.

"Adaora played with a stomach virus today and possibly had her
best game of the year, so I'm going to have her keep that
stomach virus a little longer," Texas A&M coach Gary Blair said.

Buchanan scored 12 of her points in the second half and said she
was inspired by Elonu's effort.

"Seeing how easy it was for her to score and seeing how hard she
was working made me want to go out there and make every game
special," she said.

The Aggies took control of the game early. Colorado led 11-7
with 14:32 left in the first half when Texas A&M went on an 18-2
run over the next 6:24 to take a 25-13 advantage. Adams scored
five of her 13 first-half points during the run, and Texas A&M
led 45-35 at half.

The Aggies quickly increased their lead to 57-31 in the first
five minutes of the second half and led by as many as 36 late in
the game.

"Frustration set in, and when you have a team like A&M they
sense that and they attack even more," Colorado coach Kathy
McConnell-Miller said. "They turned up the pressure, and we just
couldn't respond."

Texas A&M shot 63.6 percent from the field, the highest
percentage allowed by Colorado this season. The 95 points the
Buffaloes gave up was also the most allowed at home in 30 years.

The lone bright spot for Colorado was Smith, who moved past
Shelley Sheetz into first on the school's all-time list for made
3-pointers with four against the Aggies.

"It is gratifying," Smith said. "I'm actually glad that it's
behind me and I can focus now on trying to get these next two
Ws."
